Cemetery Man (1994) aka Dellamorte Dellamore

This film is kind of like a bridge between Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness, in my opinion. It is not as scary as Evil Dead II, but not as illogically funny as Army of Darkness. It's also similar to Shaun of the Dead (2004) in many ways, like the main character being British, the humor is similar, and there's a fat guy and skinny guy that are best friends and killing zombies. This movie is based on The Dylan Dog comics. Dellamorte is the caretaker of a Cemetery in Italy, where the died have a bad habit of rising a week after their death. The feel of the film is a mixture of neo noir, zany black comedy, horror, and a cynical look at love and life. The romance part of the film is similar to that of the original TV show Dark Shadows, in that the main character keeps finding different incarnations of his lost love. This

one has a huge cult following, but I liked it less and less as the film progressed. The film starts off as interesting and funny, and the main character is likable and easy to be empathetic with, but the character does a 180 in the last 15 minutes of the film, and though it is believable that he would be crushed and cynical at that point, I did not find it believable that he would make the decisions that seemed SO far out of his character, even if he was crushed. I also thought this was going to be more of an adventure film but the horror and comedic aspects of the film seem to be just a distraction from what the director intended to be the meat of the picture, which is his musings on love and death.So what I did dislike of the film was its indecisiveness with its plot (the plot seems to switch at times which makes it seem like you're watching several different movies with the same characters, which though interesting, I felt was poorly executed), its feel, and the convictions of its characters, but because both life and death are unpredictable it still kind of works. It is pretty funny at times, and the acting is well done. So I give it a 4/5, you can view the trailer below:
